Sycophants

I asked an ex-colleague in Korea if he was a sycophant after observing how his behaviour changed whenever he was taking orders from his boss. He did not know what the term meant. I explained that it was someone who continuously sucks up to the person that they want to impress.

He considered my explanation for a moment and then replied "You…  you... you are cutie girls sycophants!".
